The fishermen still meet every morning to sell their catch of the day on the beach at fishermen’s passage. In the evening take a walk along the romantic waterfront and watch the sunset over the bay. 

For a taste of authentic Mexico take a trip to Petatlán an agricultural and ranching town noted for its open air markets and beautiful church known for performing miracles for the local people. Explore the archeological ruins nearby and view the artifacts that can be seen on display in various locations throughout the town. 

On the way back from Petatlán visit La Soledad de Maciel, an ancient village with an archeological site called Xihuacán nearby. Xihuacán is reportedly 4,000 years old with the largest Pelota court discovered. Make sure to take a look at some of the unique artifacts taken from the site.

For dinner head to Rossy’s for some delicious waterfront dining. The extensive menu features some Mexican favourites such as ceviche, shrimp dishes, and fish fillets served with rice and steamed vegetables. If you’re feeling indulgent go for the mixed grill which feeds three!  For dessert try their delicious crispy fried bananas served with a scoop of coconut ice cream.
